Zane biked 2/3 of a mile to school and then another 2/4 of a mile to his grandmother's house, where his parents would pick him up after work. Zane said he biked a little less than a mile in all. Is this a reasonable answer? Why or why not?
No it is not because he biked more than a mile since 2/3 is more than half a mile and 2/4 is exactly half a mile.
